How critical is that O ring? I’ve always used the old one.

How long until that airbag is recalled?

Ive re-used old ones before with no issues. Just while its out and not in a rush ya know. 

Airbag is fine. Gen 3 airbag and gen 4 era they started the issues

Updates??? 

Well...

Got it all ready or at least as ready as it can be for a road worth inspection. Dropped it off this morning (20th). 1 hour later i got a call back.

>Yeah mate this engine is forked and its not gonna pass cos XYZ
>All right ill come have a chat

Long story short the guy knows what im trying to do and appreciated trying to do it the "right way". So is willing to pass a stock WRX/STi engine setup for me. 

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo re-ordering the timeline once again and turbo setup will be in before rego, albeit with a TD04 and a top mount

[El_Freddo]

“Bugger”. Should’ve offered a pack of toilet paper to sway him

But not a bad thing in the long run to road worthy with the stock turbo!
